If you really want to retrieve back your deleted photos, try http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705, and switch off your phone now to prevent deleted photos being overwritten! Once overwritten, it will be gone forever.
Good luck!

Ok this is going to sound really stupid but hear me out I'm POSITIVE I didn't delete the videos off my phone.
So yesterday I was out with some friends just chilling and I took some pretty funny videos of some of my friends. To share them with my friends I decided I was gonna upload them to youtube, but I couldnt do it directly from my phone for some reason. So I decided to email both video files via gmail to myself then upload them later on the computer. I check a couple hours later and the message is still sending, because of the amount of memory both videos were I assume, so I decided to give up and just find them on the sd card then move them to my pc. So I delete the message that was sending with the attached files since I wasnt going to go about it that way anymore, but then I go back and look through my phone and notice I cant find the videos. By attaching them to my gmail did I move them off the SD card?
I don't know about your main problem but in order to send pics/videos your carriers mobile data must be on, it will not work if only WiFi is enabled.

Sorry I knew it was too confusing. The uploading wasn't the main problem, my main question is if by me attaching those video files to my email then deleting them while they were still in the sending process, did I basically just delete those files off my sd card too??
It shouldn't have deleted the videos, not sure how that could have happened.

Yeah that's why I'm confused, idk they're no where to be found I guess I did something stupid, im still sure I didnt delete them myself though.. /:
What usually happens with me is the gallery app doesn't read new vids or pics when its running I kill the app & they pop up

I have a problem with the gallery app too!! Looking closely one of the random camera videos, it has a screenshot from a different video I did delete. How is this possible.. I may have deleted the two videos by accident because of this. Is there any sort of trashcan?

So I cant just delete everything in that cache folder? or Just delete the video cache?
I delete the whole file as it will rebuild the cache

Have you tried using a program to locate the deleted files and "undelete" them?

You can "undelete" from SDCARD with 3rd party applications, I have done long time ago. But I am not sure you can do it since android writes/modifies sdcard too much.

Hello All,
I been having problems with my Gallery photos. It seems like they disappear or does not want to show as if it is corrupted. Photos that are saved on computer and moved to my SD card most of the show up and the ones that will not show up is there when i select it in the gallery (but not show up as an icon).
But recent photos taken with nexus camera will show up but then a day or so it will disappear (icon will not show up in gallery) and when i click on the blank icon it will not show up at all (as if it is corrupted). As soon as I take a picture with the nexus camera I can go to the gallery and select it and click on it to enlarge the picture but its after a day or so it disappears.
So I drag the missing pictures to my desktop on my laptop and it says picture can not be shown. What happen to my recent photos taken with my camera phone? Please help.
I have tried killing the gallery app and still no luck and also restarting the phone.
thanks

Not sure if this is against the rules to bring up an old thread but.. atleast i used the search function!
Im having this problem on my Galaxy S2.. and... is it sure that theres a problem in the internal sdcard?
Can it not be fixed by some different kind of reformat or something?
Or do i just need to go somewhere and have the sdcard replaced.
Try replacing your SD card? that at least eliminates one possibility.
Well I managed to drop my NS in the most unfortunate way, which cause the display to stop functioning, I can see the drop down menu.... kinda, but that is about the only way I know it is on.
Is it possible to recover the data I had on it? Pictures and videos?
And for my new phone is there a way to syc my photos online somehow?
Thanks,
PS, I had a pin lock on the screen.
Yes you can.
I am assuming you have enabled usb debugging.
Download Android Commander and make a backup of your sdcard using that.

Hey guys I have a weird issue where my gallery app is not seeing some of my pics on my external sd card. The pics it is not seeing are pics that I had moved onto the card from my computer. They are in the DCIM folder along with some pics I have taken with my device. Currently only the pics taken with my device are showing in the gallery app. Anyone else having this issue?
Mods, please move this to the help/Q&A section. I mistakenly posted in general
Hey guys just want to bump this. Surely I'm not the only one having this problem. Any help greatly appreciated
Check for .nomedia files on your sd card and remove them

In my case the gallery shows only pictures saved till a given date. Lasta night I made an experience: Dismounted SD card and Mounted it agais, amd the result is that now I get even less pictures displayed.
However I can find and use them using root explorer, but not with any gallery app
I also run some sd-fix app's but with no result
very strange

Thanks pasil. Hopefully somebody else might chime in with some other ideas. I've tried everything so far. It just doesn't make sense. The .jpg files are saved in the same place as the other .jpg files that are pictures I have taken with my phone. There is no logical reason why those .jpg pics show up and not the ones from my computer. The gallery app should pick up all .jpg files.

Just tried clearing data/cache. Didn't work. [emoji19]
I even tried using a different gallery app and that app doesn't see the photos either.
Did you checked the date? sometimes it's resetted to 1999 and the recently taken photos are placed at the end of the list.

Just checked the dates and they are OK. The recent photos I have taken with my device all show in my gallery, but some of the other .jpg photos I moved onto my sd card from my computer just aren't showing up at all in the gallery. Makes no sense. I'm totally at a loss. I can see the pics in ES File explorer but not in the gallery
That maybe stupid suggestions. Can you access those "invisible" picture using stock file manager? If yes, try to create new folder using stock file manager and copy/move few pictures for testing. Check if new folder with pictures shows in gallery.

Maybe you could try little walk around. What about uploading few testing pictures on your pc to your dropbox account and see if you can successfully save them for offline viewing on your note.

Ok so this is really weird. If I download a pic from my drive account it does show up in my gallery. Also, if I move one of the photos that is not visible in gallery on my sd card to my internal device storage then it also becomes visible in my gallery. So the issue is isolated to photos moved onto the ext sd card from my pc. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can come up with a fix because I have many photos I like to keep downloaded on my ext sd card.
What about moving them back to sd card. Try to create folder on sd card using stock file manager and move pictures to that folder. I have no problem storing pics on my sd card.

Ok so problem solved! Upon your advice I created a folder on my sd card and moved the pics there and they showed up! Turns out if you have them saved anywhere in the DCIM folder on the SD card they won't show up, but if you move them out from there they show up in the gallery app just fine.
instaled Quickpic and now I can see all photos and pictures

Can anyone suggest an app that will allow me to copy my SD data from my old phone onto the Essential over the air? I thought Google's File Go would work, but it seems to restrict which files I can transfer directly, phone to phone. i need access to files beyond the 6 categories File Go offers. I'd like to stay away from any kind of wiring or PC use. Thanks.
Dropbox seems to be a solution. I still would appreciate additional input. Thanks.

You can take an ADB backup... Which should copy everything on device to computer...
If you are rooted... You can do it via wireless ADB

I'm using an app called HandShaker...work fine for me...
X-plore file explorer will transfer over wifi sharing.
You might want to check into an app called superbeam. It uses wifi to transfer as well and you can use it afterward to transfer files from your PC to your phone and from your phone to PC.
